# Projects Jam {.unnumbered}

Every Friday around 19:00Z - 21:00Z, we meet on irc.libera.chat #peers
to collaborate on active Peers projects. Everybody has the opportunity
to ask for help with any open issues in their projects, and we work
together to try to fix them. We have a short list of quick [project
jam ideas].

Would you like to help too? Feel free to join us! It's a good
opportunity to help a free project, and also to get to know us! You
can also read about past Jams in [the blog section](archive/index.md).


# Other contributions  {.unnumbered}
